It's decoration day
I've a mind to roll a stone on his grave
What would he say
He'd say keepin' me down, boy won't keep you away
It's decoation day
And I knew the Hill boys had put him away
My daddy wasn't afraid
Said we'd fight til the last Lawson's last living day
Well I never knew how it all got started
Problem with Holland before we were born
And I don't know the name of the boy we tied down
And we beat til he just couldn't walk anymore
But I know the caliber in Daddy's chest
I know what Holland Hill drives
The state let him go, so I guess it was best
Cuz nobody needs all us Lawsons alive
My Daddy said one of the boys had come by
Lumber man's favorite son
Said beat him real good, but don't dare let him die
And if you see Holland Hill, run
And I said they ain't give us trouble before
We ain't brought down on ourselves
But a chain on my back, my ear to the floor
And I'll send all the Hill boys to hell
I'll send all the Hill boys to hell
Its decoration day
I got family in Mobile Bay
They ain't never seen my Daddy's grave
That don't bother me, it ain't marked anyway
Cuz I got dead brothers in Lauderdale South
And I got dead brothers in East Tennessee
My Daddy got shot right in front of his house
He had no one to fall on but me
It's decoration day
I've a mind to go spit on his grave
If I'd a been a Hill
I'd a put him away
And I'd fight til the last Lawson's last living day
I'd fight til the last Lawson's last living day
I'd fight til the last Lawson's last living day
